Opeth appears to be going additional down the progressive rock rabbit gap, as Jethro Tull founder Ian Anderson has revealed he performed flute on “three or 4 tracks” on their subsequent document. Properly, that or we’re about to get some critically loss of life metallic flute.
In response to Anderson in an interview with the Thriller Tour radio present: “Properly, every now and then I play on different individuals’s information, in the event that they’re fascinating to me. I simply did — final week I performed on three or 4 tracks from a prog metallic band known as [Opeth].”
And in the event you’re considering that could be a stretch, it is clearly been on Opeth mastermind Mikael Åkerfeldt‘s to-do record for some time. Blabbermouth factors out that Åkerfeldt talked about in a Prog interview that he initially requested Anderson to play on Heritage approach again in 2011, however the two by no means received collectively.
“I did e-mail Ian Anderson however I by no means heard again from him,” he mentioned on the time. “Funnily sufficient, once I went all the way down to Steven‘s [Wilson] place to combine the album, we’re sitting on his sofa and he says, ‘Oh, I simply received an e-mail from Ian Anderson,’ and I used to be, like, ‘What?!’ And he simply mentioned, ‘He simply needs me to look into [remixing Jethro Tull‘s 1971 record] Aqualung. I am actually joyful on reflection that we have now [Björn J:son Lindh] as a result of it suits with the vibe of the document.”
No phrase on once we can anticipate the brand new Opeth document. Exterior of Anderson‘s look, it’s going to even be Opeth‘s first with drummer Waltteri Väyrynen, who changed longtime drummer Martin Axenrot in 2022.
